Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Hatch P
Postcode: HU17 8RX

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed access on highway safety, with regard to the proposed visibility splay and access arrangements onto the B1230 (East End)
The effect on the living conditions on both the current occupants of Beech House and the future occupants of the proposed dwelling, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The proposed access arrangements would create an unacceptable risk to highway safety through inadequate visibility splays and the likelihood of vehicles reversing onto the public highway, which outweighs the material consideration of meeting identified self-build housing need.
